Description
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative, loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Gain of function variants result exclusively in short QT syndrome (MIM#609621), while dominant negative and loss of function variants can cause long QT syndrome (LQTS, MIM#192500), atrial fibrillation (MIM#607554) and Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS, MIM#220400) (OMIM, PMIDs: 19632626, 28438721). (I) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. JLNS is characterized by congenital, bilateral deafness and variable degrees of QT prolongation, and is the only condition caused by biallelic variants (PMID: 28438721). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (OMIM, PMID: 20301308). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from threonine to isoleucine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0601 - Variant is located in the well-established functional ion transporter domain (pore) (DECIPHER). (SP) 0703 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity. These alternative changes (p.(Thr311Ala, p.(Thr311Leu)) have been reported in at least two individuals with long QT syndrome (LQTS) (LOVD, PMID: 20541041, PMID: 15733182). (SP) 0803 - This variant has limited previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been observed in at least two unrelated individuals with LQTS (LOVD, PMID: 9482580, PMID: 10973849, PMID: 14678125). (SP) 0903 - This variant has limited evidence for segregation with disease, where it was found in three affected relatives with LQTS (PMID: 9482580). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Whole cell patch clamp studies of transfected CHO cells have demonstrated impaired current. However, the biological significance of this study is uncertain (PMID: 25705178). (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
